Template Synthesis of an Ultrathin β‑Graphdiyne-Like Film Using the Eglinton Coupling Reaction

β-Graphdiyne (β-GDY) is a two-dimensional carbon material with zero band gap and highly intrinsic carrier mobility and a promising material with potential applications in electronic devices. However, the synthesis of continuous single or ultrathin β-GDY has not been realized yet. Here, we proposed an approach for ultrathin β-GDY-like film synthesis using graphene as a template because of the strong π–π interaction between β-GDY and graphene. The as-synthesized film presents smooth and continuous morphology and has good crystallinity. Electrical measurement reveals that the film presented a conductivity of 1.30 × 10^–2 S·m^–1 by fabricating electronic devices on β-GDY grown on a dielectric hexagonal boron nitride template
